✨ What Is Mahjong Together?

Mahjong Together is the first kid-friendly, family-ready Mahjong set designed to be enjoyed by ages 3 to 103. It introduces children to a beloved cultural tradition through leveled play—starting with simple tile games for beginners and gradually building up to full classic Mahjong.

With beautifully crafted wooden tiles and a keepsake suitcase box, this set is made to last for generations.

🎲 How It Works

Mahjong Together uses a leveled learning system:

  • Level 1: Simple matching and memory games for young children
  • Level 2–4: Introduces set-building and strategy with progressively more tiles
  • Level 5: Full gameplay, bridging into traditional Mahjong rules

Each level builds on the last, so children and beginners grow with the game—while families enjoy play that works for everyone.

🧠 The Learning Benefits of Mahjong

Mahjong has traditionally been seen as too complex for children—but in reality, it’s one of the best games for building focus, strategy, and cultural awareness. We discovered this firsthand while playing with our 3- and 6-year-olds, Bo and Mei.

By simplifying the rules and adapting the tile designs, we found that Mahjong is a powerful learning tool. Through play, children practice skills that support both cognitive growth and cultural appreciation:

  • Memory & Focus – Matching, recalling, and sequencing tiles help strengthen concentration and memory skills.
  • Math Readiness – Counting tiles, recognizing sets, and building combinations give kids a playful foundation for math concepts.
  • Social-Emotional Growth – Turn-taking, teamwork, and celebrating wins (and losses!) teach resilience, patience, and empathy.
  • Critical Thinking & Strategy – Children learn to recognize patterns, plan moves ahead, and adapt their strategy as the game unfolds.
  • Cultural Learning – Every tile and rule is a chance to talk about the meaning and history of Mahjong, sparking curiosity and pride in cultural heritage.

By introducing Mahjong through leveled play, children build confidence step by step—gaining not only skills, but also a sense of belonging in a tradition that spans generations

FAQ

What style of play is Mahjong Together?

Mahjong Together is based on Chinese-style play and is closest to Hong Kong–style mahjong.

Our leveled learning system makes it easy for beginners and kids to start by building simple “chicken hands” (no-points, mixed-set hands) before gradually adding scoring and more advanced rules.

Can I play other styles of mahjong (Taiwanese, Singaporean, Riichi, American, etc.) with this set?

Yes! Mahjong Together is adaptable, with a complete 144-tile set that works for many styles of mahjong. Our leveled play system teaches the core fundamentals, making it easier to transition into different styles over time.

  • Taiwanese-style: Follow our leveled play system. When you’re ready for full gameplay, simply add one extra set to form a winning hand of 1 pair + 5 sets (instead of 4).
  • American-style: You’ll need the Joker add-on set. We don’t teach American Mahjong, but there are many excellent online resources for learning this style.
  • Other Asian styles (Singaporean, Malaysian, etc.): Your set is compatible for simplified play, and our leveled play gives you the fundamentals you need. Some of these styles use special tiles that we do not currently include. If you’d love to see us offer them in the future, please let us know at support@boandmei.com — we genuinely value your input.

For exploring the diverse ways mahjong is played across cultures, we love the book: Mahjong: House Rules from the Asian Diaspora by Nicole Wong — a beautiful reflection of how the game lives in families and communities around the world.

💛 Why We Created Mahjong Together

At Bo & Mei, we believe play is one of the most meaningful ways to pass down culture. Mahjong has been a tradition shared across generations for over a century—but for many families, it has felt too complex for children to join in.

For me, this is deeply personal. I never learned Mahjong as a child, but later in life it became a bridge between me and my mother-in-law. We don’t share a language, yet we found a shared rhythm in the tiles. Before long, my daughters, Bo and Mei, grew curious. So we adapted the rules, making them simple enough for even a 3-year-old to join in—and feel proud doing it.

That experience inspired Mahjong Together. Created to nurture cultural appreciation and spark intergenerational play, it’s designed to make learning and playing classic Mahjong joyful and meaningful for kids and adults alike. With leveled play, grandparents, parents, and children can all sit around the same table, learning, laughing, and carrying on a tradition—together.

✨ A Game Night Tradition in the Making

Whether you grew up playing Mahjong or are discovering it for the first time, Mahjong Together makes it easy to start a new tradition in your home. It’s more than a game—it’s a legacy you can share, piece by piece, tile by tile.
